Oh, say, can yon see, by the dawn's early li,i;ht. 

What so proiKlly we haileil at the twilight's last sleaniins. 
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous tight. 

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? 
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air. 
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. 
Oh. say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave'? 

Oil. thus 1)e it ever when freemen shall stand. 

Between their loved homes and wild war's desolation. 
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heaven-rescued land 

I'raise the pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation. 
Then eoncjuer we must, when our cause it is .lust, 
And this lie our motto : " In (Jod is our Trust I " 
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave 

O'er the land of the free and the home of the br;ive. 



My country, 'tis of thee, sweet l;ind of lil>erty, 

Of thee I sing ; 
Land where my fathers died ; 
Land of the pilgrim's pride; 

From ev'ry mountain sido let freedom ring. 

My native country, thee. l;ind of the noble free. 

Thy name 1 love; 
I love thy rocks and rills, thy woods and templed hills; 

My heart with rapture thrills, like that above. 

Let music swell the breeze, and ring from all the trees 
Sweet freedom's song ; 
Let mortal tongues awake, let all that breathe partake; 
Let rocks their silence break, the sound ]irolong. 

Our Fathers' God to Tliee. author of libert.v. 

To Thee we sing; 
liOng may our land l)e bright with freedom's holy light; 

I'rotect us by Thy might, (Jreat God, our King.
